Edinburgh City Council logged over 1,200 complaints against taxi and private hire drivers in a single year (Edinburgh City Council FOI, 2023). One in four vehicles failed roadside checks. A chauffeur costs more than the tram. But you skip the queue, get your bags handled, and land at your hotel door in a clean car with a driver who knew your flight number before you boarded.
Should I rent a car or hire a chauffeur in Scotland?
Scotland drives on the left. Transport Scotland recorded a 46% rise in wrong-side crashes involving overseas drivers in a single year (BBC News, 2025). A driver is the safer choice for most visitors.

For Visitors Planning a Golf Trip from the US
Most of our golf clients book from Virginia, Maryland, Texas, Tennessee, and California. They land at Edinburgh Airport and want to be at St Andrews by lunchtime. Here is how that works with us.
You send your flight details and course schedule by WhatsApp. We confirm a driver and a V-Class a week before you fly. Same driver for the full trip. He knows every clubhouse entrance from St Andrews to Carnoustie. Where to park without blocking the members’ lot. Where to grab lunch in Anstruther between rounds. Where to stop for a photo of the Queensferry Crossing on the way back.
Your clubs go in the boot. You sit in the back. Five days of golf. Zero navigation stress. Zero wrong-side panic. One number to call if anything changes.
That is why our golf clients keep coming back.
How far in advance should I book?
Airport transfers can be same-day. Golf trips, tours, and weddings need at least 8 hours. The August festival and December Hogmanay fill fast. Summer golf groups should book two to four weeks out.
Real Journeys We Have Covered

Four golfers from Virginia. V Class with four bags loaded in under three minutes. St Andrews, Carnoustie, Kingsbarns, and North Berwick over five days. Same driver. He suggested Anstruther for fish and chips on day five. They booked 2026 before their flight home.

About Umair Shehzad, Founder
Umair bought his first Mercedes in 2018. No office. No staff. Just a clean car, an early alarm, and a phone that always got answered.
He learnt every shortcut between the airport and Princes Street. Which entrance should I use at The Balmoral? How to fit four golf bags into a V Class without scratching a club.
170+ five-star reviews later, the standard has not changed. He still answers the booking line. +44 7356 049464.
What is the best way from Edinburgh Airport to city centre?
A chauffeur takes 20 minutes via the A8. The tram takes 35 minutes. The Airlink 100 takes 30 minutes. A chauffeur costs more but gives you door-to-door service, flight tracking, and no waiting.
